Helen Martinez, a candidate for Ward 6 on the Santa Ana City Council, showed up today at Godinez Fundamental High School, where she spoke to a combined group of students from three government classes. Unfortunately for Martinez, the group included my son Joey, a senior and AP student, who quickly texted me.

Joey asked her stance on illegal immigration and the Dream Act; she chose to “reserve her opinion.” What a cop-out!

However Martinez was able to give her opinion on prop 19, which she is opposing. One student asked her why she was able to give her opinion on that but not on illegal immigration and she said “it’s because that isn’t a proposition.” Lame!

“Its stupid and a slap on the face to people who wait years to get their citizenship”.

And its a cop out to say “well its not their fault that the parents broke the law!”

Well my suggestion is that both the parents and kids go back to there country and apply for a green card like everyone else; also when you come here please don’t expect the American people to pay for your lifestyle!

The American people paid for Gustavo’s education and look what they got; a Mexican with American papers who hates the very country and people who gave him a chance to actually do something with his life.

LOTS of young people will be voting because of the Weed Prop on the ballot. Young people don’t care about the Usual Suspects insider baseball politcal B.S. We DO care about the Dream Act. Now back on your Tricycle Mr. Cocinera for a trip down Broadway street!

apparently my parent, or my grandparents, or some other whiteys discriminated against blacks long ago. unfortunately I had to pay the price for “what my parents had done” by affirmative action against me. so don’t tell me not to put the sins of their parents on the illegal alien kids. that is our tradition!! The DREAM act is ridiculous. Reserve college for legal immigrants and citizens and don’t dare give in state tuition rates to an illegal and charge a citizen from another state a higher tuition for being our of state. please give me the rational for that!!
